UKRAINE 2013 - Zlata Ognevich – Gravity

[Zorjan]

An incredible entry from an incredible girl
I like the giant in the beginning as well
So the qualification was hardly surprising..
It'll sure be among the leading countries in the final! I said something like that about Norway last year as well ö

I don't know what's so special about this song, I found it just another cheap Disney song and the performance was so cheesy...

More than cheap Disney song. Only unicorn is missing for full feeling

They would make great duet, no doubt about it...

 

[GWTW1939]

They would also make beautiful babies too xwhistle Although considering everyone here is hoping he's gay they probably wouldn't think so

I also think Zlata was holding back but now that she's in the final as well as in the second half she's really going to let it fly!!!

It's in my top 5 so of course a Ukraine victory would make me happy.

 

[Altairandy]

I have to be realistic. I would like to Zlata's win, but - 5 .. 7th place
All made for prYncess of "de Forest", unfortunately. And I expect that Norway, Germany, Greece will be higher

 

[evija87]

I must agree with you... I think something around 5-10 place is the most likely to happen.
I'd love to see her on podium or snatching the shocking win
But yes, we're heading to Copenhagen...

I can see this as the winner and right now i wouldn't mind that very much. It's way better than the other clear favourites. There's nothing cheap about it. Disney songs aren't automatically cheap you know, there's good and bad in every genre and some of them are even quite good indeed. Some of them even win oscars from time to time. In fact its lack of a traditional structure makes it rather original actually.

The staging is superb and her vocals absolutely perfect in all its surprising capacity. It would make for a much worthier winner than Denmark, Azerbaijan, Georgia or Germany.

 

[WhoKnows]

I've given up on the possibility of winning as well. The draw is good though so I'm hoping for a Top 5 finish.

 

[Magizian]

What a babe (Zlata)!

I really can't stand the song, though.

I would say the opposite...

 

[WhoKnows]

I would say the opposite...

WHAT? You can't stand Zlata?

 

[wittgenstein]

Yeah I think the song is a babe...

 

[No Name]

Emmelie and Zlata challenged each other in a sing-off earlier today

Good luck to Ukraine tonight! If it won't be Denmark, I surely wouldn't mind it being Ukraine grabbing the victory. Zlata is fantastic.

 

[A-lister]

This is now in my top. 3 of the evening, I wouldn't mind Ukraine win it and if I had to choose between this and Denmark, this has the edge for me now.

Initially I thought "well this sounded Disney".... but not at all in the cheap ways as it could have done, the song is actually a rather interesting composition with all the layers and dimensions added to it, it's pretty unique that way.

This could have very well ended up on the other side like a cheesy ballad as Russia or Georgia, but no this is way too interesting to even be compared to those....

Good luck Ukraine and keep those blue-yellow colors proud!

I feel the same about it. It should be something I really dislike (due to it's polished and at times twinkly production) but it's actually quite the opposite. This is an interesting, epic song with (as you say) lots of layers, unusual chord progressions and just a darn good singer. I have a feeling i'll be rooting for this come the voting.

 

[WhoKnows]

Congrats Zlata on more than deserving bronze medal!

 

[RainyWoods]

Congratulations Ukraine on the fantabulous 3rd place! It was getting really exciting at one point as Zlata was edging closer to Emmelie.. and then she drifted away and my excited eyebrows turned into angry ones. Never the less, I always imagined top 3 for this and it was very well deserved. Well done!

 

[Impressive]

3rd place? Seriously?
